“…This study determined that male students had higher levels of smartphone and internet addiction. Other studies have also reported that males use smartphones more than females (Aljomaa, Qudah, Albursan, Bakhiet, & Abduljabbar, 2016;Bianchi & Phillips, 2005;Şar, 2013) and have higher levels of internet addiction (Canan et al, 2010;Erdoğan, 2015;Esen, 2010;Üneri & Tanıdır, 2011;J.

Aim:The study examines the relationship between college nursing students' smartphone addiction and internet addictions. Material and Method:The sample of this descriptive relationship-seeking study included 788 college nursing students. A personal information form, the Smartphone Addiction Scale and the Internet Addiction Scale were used as data collection tools. Results: The participants had high smartphone and internet addiction scores. The males were more prone to exhibit addictive behavior. The addiction scores of the students who cannot stand to be away from their phones were higher. Students involved in sports and students with reading habits had lower addiction scores. A strong positive correlation was found between students' smartphone and internet addiction scores. Conclusions: Due to the strong correlation between smartphone and internet addiction, it was concluded that further research is needed to investigate addictive behaviors, particularly for smartphone addiction.

“…In a study conducted among university students, smartphone addiction was found to be higher in young people with more than four hours of daily smartphone use compared to those with fewer hours of smartphone use (Aljomaa, Qudah, Albursan, Bakhiet, & Abduljabbar, 2016). It can be said that the role of SNS interaction plays a major role in smartphones use over long hours, especially in Turkey (Gezgin & Çakır, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to examine high school students and uncover the relationships between Smartphone Addiction levels and certain factors such as (a) Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) (b) Social Networking Site (SNS) usage habits (using smartphones), (c) age, d) sleep duration and (e) duration of smartphone ownership. The study group consists of 161 students from two public high schools in Turkey. Two different scales were employed for data collection; namely, the Smartphone Addiction Scale and FoMO Scale. Based on a cross-sectional research method, this qualitative study makes use of Pearson Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression statistical tests. Findings have shown positive correlations interpreted as Smartphone Addiction increasing with greater student age, daily duration of SNS use on smartphones, duration of smartphone ownership, and Fear of Missing Out. In addition, there exists negative-correlation between smartphone addiction and sleep duration, as well as frequency of SNS use on smartphones. Last but not least, it has been shown that FoMO, daily duration of SNSs use on smartphone and duration of smartphone ownership predict smartphone addiction, with the FoMO variable being the strongest predictor.

In recent research, the percentages ranged from 3.9% in Belgium to 1% in Poland, with 1.7% addicts identified in the Spanish sample 35 .…”

“…Results of these alerts are concepts such as the so-called technostress 14 , smombie (a combination of "smartphone" and "zombie") 15 , fear of missing out (fomo) 16 and nomophobia ("no-mobilephone phobia") 17 . However, studies on the addictive consequences of both the 'old' mobile phone 9,18-21 , the current smartphone [22][23][24][25][26][27] , and the Internet are cross-sectional, therefore the temporal evolution of the smartphone and the Internet's addictive impact on the population is still unknown. Based on the aforementioned research as a background, the objective of the current study was to explore the evolution …”
